Summary: Determining the appropriate parents for breeding programs is crucial for plant breeders to maximize genetic variability and produce desirable genotypes. In this study, five kalanchoe genotypes were morphologically characterized and molecularly analyzed. The results showed distinct traits in different genotypes, such as plant height, number of inflorescences, flower length, and flower diameter. Cluster analysis based on morphological and molecular data revealed different clustering patterns. The study concluded that orange, violet, and yellow kalanchoe are suitable parents for breeding economically valued traits in kalanchoe. SCoT and RAPD markers were found to be reliable tools for assessing genetic polymorphism among kalanchoe genotypes.

Summary: This study assessed the genetic variation of 50 'Shazikongxinli' using morphological markers, IRAP, and ISSR. The results showed that IRAP markers displayed rich polymorphism, and the other two markers also showed some polymorphism. All three markers grouped the germplasms into two clusters, indicating a relatively narrow genetic base of the 'Shazikongxinli' population.

Summary: Tomatoes are commonly consumed in daily human diets, but high temperatures can reduce yields per year. Heat stress affects the morphological and molecular characteristics of crops like tomatoes. This study evaluated six tomato lines under heat stress and found that certain lines performed better in flowering, fruit production, and yield. Molecular analysis showed differences in marker values among the lines. Combined analysis of morphology, cytology, and molecular genetics techniques can help study genetic divergence in tomato lines.

Summary: A genetic and morphological assessment of Helichrysum species in the Mediterranean area revealed that despite different morphological characteristics, they have very similar genetic traits. The study focused on twelve populations from the Tuscan Archipelago and included reference specimens from three known Helichrysum species. The results showed low levels of variation, mainly at the intra-population level, suggesting that all examined populations fit into H. italicum subsp. italicum. However, some intermediate specimens were detected, indicating the need for further studies to fully understand Helichrysum's taxonomy.

Summary: The study characterized ten selected lines of runner bean from Central and Southern Chile based on morphological and agronomic traits. The lines from Central Chile had a higher number of pods per plant compared to the Southern lines, but their seed size and weight were lower. Overall, a low level of genetic diversity was found in this population.

Summary: In order to utilize the underutilized oat crops, it is necessary to identify quality and yield related genes/QTLs from existing germplasms. The large family of grasses provides a vast number of germplasms for bio-prospecting. Molecular markers can be used to select cross-compatible oat germplasms and introduce novel traits into elite oats. The study analyzed the genetic diversity of 38 oat germplasms using ISSR markers and identified superior genotypes for high grain yield and high fresh weight.
